taught me how to make Kekwick and Pawan ' s brilliant concept a truly useful technique with which to combat metabolic resistance.
The Fat Fast is one controlled carb program where you do have to count calories, I am afraid. You ' ll eat 1,000 calories a day, with seventy-five to ninety percent fat. Since frequent " feedings " prevent hunger better than three meals a day, I recommend five feedings, perhaps one every four hours, comprising 200 calories each. Because of the high fat content and frequent feedings, very few people on the Fat Fast experience much hunger. The stumbling block for some people is the absence of meals as we know them.
Let ' s look at some choices for a Fat Fast 200-calorie feeding. Each item equals approximately 200 calories:
• One ounce of macadamia nuts or macadamia nut butter
• Two ounces of cream cheese or Brie
• One ounce of tuna or chicken salad with two teaspoons of mayonnaise served in onequarter of an avocado
• Two deviled eggs made with two teaspoons of mayonnaise
• Two ounces of sour cream and two tablespoons black or red caviar
• Two and a half ounces whipped heavy cream topped with sucralose zero-calorie syrup
• Two ounces of pate( check label for fat content)
• Two egg yolks( hard-boiled) with one tablespoon of mayonnaise
When to Do the Fat Fast
Let me make it clear that the Fat Fast is actually dangerous for anyone who is not metabolically resistant. For people who lose weight fairly easily, the rate of weight loss is too rapid to be safe. But it carries very little risk for people who can barely lose on any other regimen. The reason why I ask such people to try the Fat Fast is to let them know that it is possible to lose weight.
I ask them to try the regimen for four or five days to see if they achieve what the Fat Fast is capable of doing-weight loss, curbed appetite, positive lipolysis testing strips and improved wellbeing. If these results occur, most people are willing to stick with it for a few days, even if the food selections are unfulfilling.
Modifying the Fat Fast
If increasing the fat-to-carbohydrate ratio and cutting the calorie count works, any dietary change in that direction might get the job done. Next, you can try four meals a day of roughly 300 calories for a total of 1,200 calories. That should work too, and what it allows is definitely more appealing to the taste buds:
• Two ounces of beef chuck( do not drain fat) cooked in two tablespoons of olive oil
• Two scrambled eggs with two strips of nitrate-free bacon
• Two tablespoons of full-fat sour cream with a tablespoon of sugar-free syrup
